Main inclusion report for gnome-power

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-power, compiled on all arches.

2. Rationale: The package is a valuable addition to the desktop, it offers a easy to use gui interface for the powermanagement in gnome. It is part of the powermanagement spec, worked out at udu

3. Security:

• No CANs.
• No Secunia record.

• No binaries running as root, the privileged backend is provided by powermanagement-interface.

4. QA:

• Installation: gnome-power-manager should be added to the default session in laptop mode, gnome-power-preferences settles in the desktop preferences.

  • ThomMay asks: why not added globally, since it can handle keyboards, UPSes and mice?

• Bugs: no Debian/upstream showstopper bugs.
• Deals with batteries of laptops, keyboards, UPSs and wireless mice.
• The package is actively maintained upstream.

5. Standards compliance:

• Standard debhelper packaging.
